Why does it seem that all the photographers in Hawaii only shoot Asian or Hawiians girls.  For once step outside the box and do something different.  I am not saying all photographers but majority.  Have you ever heard of diversity!!!!! work with me people I am just sayin.  Can some body answer this for me.

Sweet! big_smile

I'm so ready for a good trip...  Just back from British Columbia, and it would be nice to take a long plane trip without the hassle of customs.

Good! I've got some great ideas already...you've got a beautiful skin tone and a nicely built body, and I'm sure you'll look great in front of my lens.

of MM you'll have plenty of photographers near you willing to shoot you.

Hi there.  You never talked to me.  I love working with different models of all types.  Feel free to look at my work and ask any questions you have.  Plus, you'll find my rates are the best on the island.  Hope to hear from you soon, Jason.

If I misunderstand you profoundly... let me know... but if you are in Hawaii... you may find a lot of photographers of that ethnicity!

But... Pearls... WHO THE FUCK CARES(?) about the ethnicity of the photographer...?

His creativity transcends any ethnic barriers... and if you like the style, and if it gets you job, does it really matter what the ethnicity is of the photographer who immortalizes you?

So drop your senseless prejudice and shoot with a photographer whose style you like!

Um, Udor, I think you misunderstood her profoundly.  She was talking about photogs only wanting to shoot asian and native types, not that they ARE asian or native photogs.  So ease back off the rant and relax a bit.
